Defective Drug Claims

If you have been injured, become ill, or had a condition worsen because of a defective drug, you may be able to claim compensation. You can claim for a defective drug if you have sustained physical or psychological side effects.

If you have lost a loved one due to a defective drug, you can also make a claim on their behalf.

Our defective drug claims solicitors will be here to support you throughout your claim.

The first step towards making a defective drug claim is to contact our team. We will set up a free 30-minute consultation to hear what happened, advise you on if you could claim, and make you aware of your funding options.

You aren’t under any obligation to go further than this initial consultation. However, if you opt to pursue your claim with our team, we will start by collecting evidence to support your claim, including:

• Receipts
• Medical records
• Medication packaging
• Independent medical expert opinions.

It can feel daunting to make a claim, but don’t worry, we’re with you every step of the way to get you the justice you deserve.

Each claim is different, so timeframes vary due to the unique circumstances of each case.

How long your claim takes will largely depend on whether the person or drug manufacturer responsible for your injuries or illness accepts responsibility for your injuries and losses.

However long your claim takes, rest assured that we will be by your side throughout the whole process. If your claim needs to go to court, we will prepare you and do all we can to make you feel as comfortable as possible.

In defective product claims, it is not unusual for lots of people to have been affected by the same product, but group actions can arise in many different areas and not just defective products.

In some cases, a group action may be an appropriate way for the court to manage a number of similar claims together without having a trial of each individual claim. Group actions can help people share legal expertise as well as the cost by working together, to try and maximise the chances of being fully and fairly compensated for your trauma.

We have extensive experience in pursuing group actions—get in touch with our experts today to see if it could be the right path to take for your claim.
